Animals have pain, agreed. I think my point should have been rather that
very adept human beings can deal with pain so that it doesn't affect them.

Since I read a book on chaos theory, I don't believe anymore that survival
of the fittest is the only valid mode by means of which organisms survive.
Sometimes rivals adapt to each other, sometimes they learn to live in
different spheres, like one in air and one underground, sometimes they learn
to cooperate with each other to reach a common goal.
